Before the Supreme Court.
Supreme Cour

The case of the Chicago Anarch-
lists is now before the Supreme Court
of the United States and was argued
there yesterday. Thursday. In their
petition to the Court it is set forth
and claimed that the law of the State
of Illinois, under which they were
convicted, is in conflict with the Con-
stitution of the United States, in the
matter of selecting juries, and that
therefore they were not tried by "due
course of law" as provided by the
National Constitution. They also
set forth that another provision of the
National Constitution was violated
in their trial, being the one that pro-
tects all citizens from search of them
selves or homes without lawful war
rant, and that they were so searched
and thus made to give evidence
against themselves, which was not
by "due course of law" These are
the two main points relied upon for
asking the interference of the highest
Court of the Nation. Should this
Court decide it has jurisdiction, and
conclude it should act, then writ of
error to the Illinois Court will be
awarded and the whole case then re.
viewed by the U. S. Supreme Court.
This will prevent the hanging of the
anarchists on November l Il; and may
lead to other results in their case
that cannot now be foreseen.
JEFFERSON DAVIS is rapidly get
ting down to his proper level. The
anti-prohibitionists of Georgia have
asked him to stump the State for
them and we do not see why he
should refuse. Having done bis best
to perpetuate the slavery OF the body
it would be logical for him to finish
his career by championing the cause
of those who wax rich by shackling
the iutellects and souls of their fellow
citizens.

actually been member of the jury
at all
Mr.. Pryor said it abundantly ap-
peared in the record that at least
two Of the jurors who actually sat in
the trial were persons having pre-
possessions and predjudices of the
character described.
Thus by the action of the lower
Court, be said, the IlliDois statute
had been made to deprive the accus-
ed OF the right of trial by au Impair
tial jury; bad abridged their privile-
ges as citizens Of the United States,
and was about to deprive them of
life. &c, without due process of law
The Chief Justice remarked that
the only question for this Court was,
whether the statute was Ccustituti-
onal. II the Court erred in its ad
ministration OF the statute, that wGs
question for the State Courts.
Mr.. Pryor replied that the action
of the State Court was the action Of
the State II the statute was admin.
istered unfairly it was State action,
and that brought it within the juris-
diction of this Court. IL must be so,
said Mr.. Pryor, because if a State
pass q seemingly fair statute, and ig-
nores il, or administer iL unfairly,
then the protection which the Four.
teeDth Amendment is intended TO
give, is denied. To try man for
bis life by partial jury is not due
process of law, and never was due
process oflaw.
Mr.. Pryor's second point was that
the petitioners had been compelled
in the trial court to be witnesses
against themselves. Sons Of them
were on the stand and, in spite oi
the protests of their counsel, they
